Al-Rahman Legion

The al-Rahman Legion was an Islamist Syrian Opposition group during the Syrian Civil War, founded in November 2013. The group operated mostly in eastern Ghouta during the war, and it had a strength of over 3,000 fighters, with the eastern Ghouta units of the Ajnad al-Sham Islamic Union joining the legion (the rest of the group did not, however). On 24 May 2016, the group ended hostilities with Jaysh al-Islam, and it united with other rebel groups against the Syrian Arab Republic and Islamic State.
